Have you started putting together your shopping list for Road 2015?  

We hope it includes Road to California’s 20^th Anniversary Celebration fabric designed by Alexander Henry Fabrics. This commemorative fabric comes in two different color backgrounds and in two different weights: cotton and heavy oxford.

To encourage creativity – and some fun — with this great fabric, Road to California and ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable are sponsoring the Road to California Tote Bag and Purse Challenge. Cash prizes and merchandise totaling $1,000 will be awarded for purses or tote bags made from the heavy oxford weight of the 20^th Anniversary fabric. The bags or purses can be any size or style, uniquely designed or made from a pattern and can include other fabric, embellishments, hardware, or stabilizers. Entries will be juried and the winners, along with a few additional selected entries, will be displayed at Road to California’s 2016 show.
